PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My mom can have a lot of dresses, shirts, skirts, t-shirt, shoes, boots, scarves or any other garment for any season and for any occasion, but the most significant, amazing, well-cared and important one, is a coat. Why a coat? Because it represents one of the main goals that she has achieved in her life; being a doctor. She has about 15 coats, from all hospital and with different font, color and size letter.

At buying coats and scrubs (medical clothing) you can say that my mom is a shopaholic.

When she wears one of her coats, doesn´t matter if I haven´t seen her in years or is your birthday or anything, you cannot touch her, she says that you are dirty and you are going to dirty her clothes. Her coats are always spotless and ironed and she gets really mad if they are not. But, I still don´t understand why if she is so exaggerated with that, in the right moment she takes them off, she throws them anywhere! Anyway, I love to see her wearing a coat. For me, that outfit is the best one. I could say that coats represent my childhood because doe to my moms work, I spent a lot of time without her since I was born and every time she went to work I immediately ran to her dressing room, grabbed a coat and hugged it. I imagined that I was hugging my mom and that brought me happiness and peace.

Her coats always have what is to me “the best perfume in the world”… Chanel + air conditioner from the hospital. I really love that smell because it reminds me the most important person in my life. Also her pillow has her perfume impregnated so most of the times when she leaves early in the morning and I still have time to sleep I go to her bed and use her pillow to imagine that she is there with me. I remember that when I was in jr. high, I never bought a lab coat for chemistry class on purpose, I always asked my mom for a coat and she always said to me “take a clean one” and I always asked her for the one that already had “the best perfume of the world impregnated” Now that I have my own coat, I always ask her to wear it for a while.
